Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

 

On 10 October we will be nervously waiting with our bags packed and saddles in hand to head off for the daunting experience of cycling 400km across Cuba.  What on earth are we thinking?  Well, quite simply we would like to help raise money and awareness to support the fight against three cancers which affect so many of our families and friends. 

  

We are no longer spring chickens so the cycling is going to be a huge challenge in itself and will take the next 12/18 months of hard work, sweat and no doubt lots of tears to get us within a fighting chance of completing the 5 days in one piece, and hopefully still smiling! 

  

The other part of this challenge is the mammoth task of raising the funds that are so desperately needed, this is where you can help.  We will be organising several events over the coming months which we hope you will be able to attend to join in the fun.  In addition you can donate on this site. 

  

So please help us reach the goal we very much want to achieve, which in turn may help prevent the suffering these cancers cause. 

  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. 

  

Thank you in advance of any support you can give xx
